The STIMER informat
reads performance statistics that the STIMER system option writes
to the SAS log.
The informat reads time
values and determines whether the values are hours, minutes, or seconds
based on the presence of decimal points and colons:
-
If no colon is present, the value
is the number of seconds.
-
If a single colon is present, the
value before the colon is the number of minutes. The value after the
colon is the number of seconds.
-
If two colons are present, the
sequence of time is hours, minutes, and then seconds.
In all cases, the result
is a SAS time value.
The input values for
STIMER must be in one of the following forms:
is an integer that
represents the number of seconds.
is an integer that
represents the number of minutes.
is an integer that
represents the number of hours.
